Why I chose the items I chose


Qoute 1- I chose this quote because it saves the main character's life in two ways. This quote was said during the end of the story by Oscar the body guard. Oscar was trying to convince Luke to join his side, but he refused. So Oscar told him to watch out for chandaliers as a second chance. When the time came Luke found himself standing under a chandalier and it fell. He had enough time to get out of the way but his fake parents did not.

Quote 2- I chose this quote because it made a lot of sense towards the end. Mr. Hendricks wasn't so sure about Oscar and told Luke not to trust him. When Luke was talking to Oscar in private, Oscar asked him to join his side. Luke remembered what Mr. Hendricks said and decided not to join Oscar. It paid off and Luke did not get killed by Oscar.

Quote 3- I chose this quote because Luke did not know if Smits knew that Luke was pretending to be Lee. When Smits was talking to Luke he asked if Luke could be Lee. Luke did not find out until later that Smits knew about his brother's death. So this gave Luke a better view of Smits and he could trust him. It also made Smits like him more because he tried to pretend to be Lee.



I chose this video for many reasons. I believe the maker of this Youtube video did a very good job of picking actors for a potential movie from this book. Some of the choices they picked I would also pick myself. The music also goes good with the book because it can be taken as sad music or a joyful song. It also covers the rest of the series of the books to make a bigger variety of the cast.
